Shipyard

Project to build and package .NET applications on Linux.

Currently implemented:

• RPM Packages
• DEB Packages

Future Goals:

• tarball
• AppImage
• Flatpaks
• Snaps

Installing

Right now, the easiest way to install and run this tool is using dotnet tool install --global shipyard. You'll also need to install rpmbuild and dpkg from your systems package manager, depending on which package type you'd like to build.

Running

You'll need to create a json configuration file, below is a sample based on Shipyards own configuration:

{
"$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CorruptComputer/Shipyard/refs/heads/release/shipyard.schema.json",
"executable": "shipyard",
"version": "0.0.4",
"author": "Nickolas Gupton",
"license": "MIT",
"repositoryUrl": "https://github.com/CorruptComputer/Shipyard",
"dotnet": {
"projectFile": "./Shipyard.csproj",
"framework": "net10.0",
"configuration": "Release",
"runtimes": [
"linux-x64"
],
"publish": []
},
"formats": [
{
"format": "rpm",
"packageName": "Shipyard",
"release": 1,
"provides": [],
"dependsOn": [
"dotnet-runtime-10.0",
"dotnet-sdk-10.0",
"rpm-build",
"dpkg"
]
},
{
"format": "deb",
"packageName": "Shipyard",
"section": "utils",
"priority": "optional",
"maintainer": "Nickolas Gupton <email@example.com>",
"depends": [
"dotnet-runtime-10.0",
"dotnet-sdk-10.0",
"rpm",
"dpkg"
]
}
]
}

Once this is created and shipyard is installed, you should be able to just run shipyard --config path/to/shipyard.json --output path/to/output/dir.

Contributing

Since this is still very early in this project, I will probably not accept any contributions. Once things have stabilized and I'm able to achieve what I want from this, contributions will be more than welcome.
